"At last," said Pat Crowe, as his boat grounded on the desert Island far off in the southern Pacific, relates the Chicago Tribune, "at last I have reached an un charted island not known to men and far from the track of ocean vessels. Here I shall be safe from the police force and can spend the rest of my days In delightful ob scurity, Just as 'though I was an ox-vlce president of tho United States." But as tho kidnaper of the small Cudahy boy walked up from tho beach he suddenly met with a party of men. "What are you," demanded Mr. Crowe, "plain clothes men or park police I" "Wo are the cltlicns of Disappearance Island," said the foremost of the strangers. "I do not think I understand," said Mr. Crowe. "I will explain," replied the spokesman. "First of all, however, why have you disap peared, who ara you, and what have you doner "I am Tat Crowo of Omaha," said the now arrival. "I stole the Cudahy boy and mado his Pa come down with $25,000 to re cover hlra. The detectives kept on my trail and I had to whack up with them so often that I saw my fortune would soon bo dissi pated, and I would finally fall Into the clutches of the law did I not disappear. Bo I sailed from San Francisco on a tramp steamer, and when somewhere out In the Bouth Pacific I cut loose the captain's gig one night. I filled It with provisions be fore band, and after I had drifted away from the ship I floated qulto nicely for si days, until the waves kindly brought me cshoro on this island." "Ah, glad to meet you, Mr. Crowe," said the spokesman of .tho wolcomlng party. "Permit mo to Introduce myself and ray comrades. I am William Tascott of Chi urn fnr n-hfim thrt nollrn of the entire United States have been hunting for twclvo years. They say I made way with a mil lionaire there, and, now that I think of It. 1 believe I did. Somo people think that I am dead, while others beltovo that I was only a beautiful myth. Vet, here I live with my dear friends, hanny and peaceably cn Disappearance Island." PaiaInK the Hand Around. "Very pleased to meet you, Indeed, Mr. Tascott," said Mr, Crowe. "This gentleman," went on Mr. Tascott, with a wave of his hand to a Bad looking in dividual who stood on his right, "Is tho man who struck Hilly Patterson." "Qlad to meet you, sir," said Mr. Crowe, bowing politely. "This gentleman," resumed Mr. Tascott, with a wave of his hand to another of his party, "Is the man who stole Charley ltoas." Mr. Crowe bowed again.

"And who was he, pray?" asked Mr. Crowe. Mr. Tascott and all of his party reverently removed their hats whllo they answered In one voice: "Ho who killed Cock Robin." "How interesting," said Mr. Crowe. "I know I shall like it here." "You may well say so, Mr. Crowe," an swered Mr. Tascott. "And on our part wo aro .only too glad to havo you become one of our number. So tho pollco are still looking for you. Ha, ha. ha. Well, let us take you to tho dwelling which you will occupy. Here, you man that hit Billy Pat terson, help the gentleman with what he has left of hs $25,000." Mr. Crowe was shown to a palm tree hut. and after being given a bountiful dinner sat on the veranda all the long tropical evening talking with bis now-found friends, lie Felt nt Home. "I cannot tell you." said Mr. HPAWA pa. ing abstractedly at the great beautiful moon sailing serenely In the tropical heavens, "how glad I am to have come to Dlsappoor- auco isiana. i teoi mat I wero onco again under my own vino and fle frnn In thn bosom of my friends." tea. said Tascott. as hn Miv mnV rings Into the soft night air, 'Jyou could not have como to a better nlnrn. V havn been waiting for you. From some wreckage si.uncu uu me oeacn a few months ago we secured papers which told of your exploit In Omaha and since that night and day wo have watched for you. Tho man who struck Billy Patterson has sat day after day In the lofty boughs of yon tall palm scanning tho horlton for somo sign of you and at night the man that killed Mor gan kept watchflres burning brightly on tho beach. Wo know that your place was hero and that somo day fate would bring you to us." "How beautiful," said Mr. Crone loftly. Long they sat there In silence listening to tho sobbing murmurs of the waves on the beach. Then Tascott arose and said: "Well, I must be going. My wife will be anxious about me." "Your wife?" asked Mr. Crowe in as tonishment. "Is your wife here, too?" "O, yes," replied Tascott. "My marrlago Is quite a romance. I will tell you the story. In tho first place, you cannot guess who It was I married. I will tell you her name. Sho Is the 'woman In the case.' Ah, you look surprised. I thoueht vou would be. You must know, Mr. Crowe, that In all the great murder, kidnaping and bank burglary cases In which you and I and gentlemen of our cloth figure there Is al ways a person concerned called by the police and tho newspapers 'tho woman la the case.' You have not heard of her so much lately. Do you know why? It Is because after a certain big mystery In the United States, when tho police declared they were hot on the trail of 'tbo woman In the case' and the newspapers said she was sure to be discovered and brought to Justice at last, she disappeared, and, taking ship at San Franclscl for Australia, was shipwrecked oh Disappearance Island' ".When I taw her I (ell la love at once 15c Hay den's Great Clearing HTlie big wash goods department oilers the choicest fabrics at a mere fraction of their worth.

Perhaps you have seen his name In news papers In former years In tho United States, His name was Vox Popull, alios Anxious Parent, alias Many Voters, alias Oqe Who Was There. He is the same man, by the way, who was called "The Man In the Gal lery,' and who started tho boom for the nomination of James A. Garfield for presi dent by shrieking out from his seat In the gallery when Garfield asked, 'Now, gentle men, whom will you have for president?' James A. Garfield. "Ho lived here happily for years. But now bo is dead and Is burled In tho local cemetery that I have before referred to. He left somo sons In the United States to perpetuate his many names, but none of them has tho greatness of his parent. Well, good night, Mr. Crowe. Come over to my happy home and see us. Wo are Just mov ing Into a new house and are not fixed up yet. We are going to movo over a load of Horrors of Summer and tho torment of unendurable beat have both come to the dwellers In the tenements of Now York City. Many bestow pity upon those whom for tune obliges to face tho rigors of winter in tha slums, relates the Brooklyn Eagle, but tho hardships of cold aro as nothing to the horrors of midsummer beat. It Is al ways possible to get warm. It is frequently Impossible to become cool, and, for tho tenement dwellers at least, It is absolutely hopeless to try to attain to olther con tinued coolness or to that amount of comfort which will permit sleep. Ask one of those who spend their lives in the crowded cast side streets of New York which Is the harder to bear, summer of winter. However abject may be the povorty of the person questioned the In variable response will be that the winter is preferred to tho summer. Crowding in cold weather may produce smallpox as well as warmth, but even that alternative Is preferred to tbo season which makes of each tcnoment a bouse of torment, of every fetid room a chamber of sleepless horror. Kipling, writing of the City of Calcutta during the time of beat, called it "The City of Dreadful Night." He drew the horrors of night In that city as he alone can, but, even the sufferings of those In the midst of the heat of Calcutta are not so great as those of the lost legion who live exist In the double-decker tenements of Greater New York. Is It to be wondered at that the man who has spent his day under thoso conditions is unablo to support the sufferings that heat, crowded quarters and insufficient ventila tion force upon him at night? Screens are scarco and mosquitoes are many on tho east side. In tho open air there is no pro tection from the insect plague, but It it baa to bo ondured tho tenement people prefer to suffer under the sky rather than under the root. What the open house tops of India are to the people of Hindustan the balconies of, the Iron fire escapes are to those who live on the east side. The family whoso rooms look out on tho fire escape Is envied as higher uptown flat dwellers may envy the family that dwells In the house with the big verandas. The fire escape counts as an extra room, even lu the rent. In tho time of heat It is the bedroom of tho tenement aristocracy. None 15c 15c 15c FRENCH REBES.

You know that In every case of bank robbery, murder, kidnaping, or whatnot tho police havo great troublo looking for important clews which they tall to find. Do you know why? Because wo have most of those clews over here on Disappearance Uland. They are quite ornamental. Good night." "Good night," said Mr. Crowe. "And pleasant dreams." For two weeks Mr. Crowe lived happily. Then he tired of ennui and decided to do a llttlo something to keep bis hand in, so that if he ever went back to Omaha he would not bo entirely out of practice. Keciilnit Ills Hand In, The next morning the colony was thrown 'had stolen Charley Ross was himself kid naped. "It must have been Pat Crowe that did Torrid Heat 'of the poor and to be pitied sleep on tho fire escapes. For such as those thero Is tho sidewalk, the cellar door, the unstablcd truck and the dark lairs in the corners of areas. Unless one's heart Is hard it is not good to walk through the tenement streets In the time of heat. Tho sight of so much unobstruslvo wretchedness troubles the soul; the mind becomes filled with vague longings to givo comfort to these suffering ones with Impotent wrath against the someone or something supposed to bo re sponsible for It all and with helpless rec ognition of its present incurability. It will be long before entire contentment and cheerfulness return to the one who, pos sessing a child of his own, passes through these bricked-ln canyons of sweltering heat and suffering at night. At the edge of tho street, Just where the moonlight Is cut by tho roof line, there stands a rickety flshcart. Even amid the pre vailing reek Its presence can be recognized unseen. Even a fish-loving cat would and does find tbo cart a little too strong, for one turns away from it as the photographer approaches. There Is something allvo In the cart, though. What is it? Tho police man who has followed shows you. He pushes tbo evil smelling cart a foot or so farther and tho clean white light floods the face of a little child asleep. There are two of them there, and some kindly hand has mitigated the flshcart's reek with a great armful of sweet hay In which tho little ones are nestled. There are worse cots tonight than the flshcart for tired little limbs. Here is a row of little oncB asleep under the forbid ding Iron railings of one of tho city's parks. There Is cool green turf inside, but the Iron gates are locked at dusk, for It Is not per mitted that the children of the city shall sleep upon tho turf of the city. Its stones must suffice. See how their feet aro drawn up. That trait Is universal here. It Is not wise to stretch tired bare legs acrotw the kM.woIU k- ij .... drunkards their couch is so narrow that the Inside Jinan would be pushed off If he were not Even the sidewalk is preferable it would! supported by tho window of the saloon, eea to the places in and upon which othersjBoth are sleeping la all their clothes.

It," said tho man who had swatted the Justly celebrated Mr. Patterson. "Let us apprehend him." The members of the colony swarmed down on Mr, Crowe's house. "You have stolen the man who kidnaped Charley Ross," excitedly exclaimed Mr. Tascott. "Release him at once or we will give you away to the police." "Bah," said Mr. Crowe, coolly. "Run away. I wanted entertainment and I admit having kidnaped tho gentleman you name. Leave 525,000 in an old coffee sack at a point on the beach where you will find a red lantern. "Oboy and all will be well. Disobey and I will kill the party that stole Charley Ross." While Mr. Crowe had been talking the man who had struck Billy Patterson com menced to glow with exultation. "You're all right, Pat," he shouted. "We've been too slow out here. I've been dying to break loose for twenty years, and I think that here's my chance. Hurrah! I Life in New York Tenements. try to find rest. In the llttlo back yard of this saloon is the bedroom of a workman. His bedstead is tbo half of the broken door of a shed. One end of It rests upon a garb age barrel so full that an Old sack has been tied over the top to enable It to bo moved. The outer end is supported by a packing case half full of aehes and refuse. His bedclothlng consists of the clothes bo wears at bis work. His pillow Is his shoes. It Is not wlso to place one's shoes by the side of a tenement bed If one wishes to wear them again. Here is a moro pretentious bed chamber, for, though Its front wall Is the public sidewalk, it has almost an air of privacy. On each side of the front of a little saloon there extends an Iron railing. This makes a sort of miniature front yard. It Is true that one-half of the space Is occupied by the dilapidated doors of the cellar and that the other l.alf consists of the broken flag ging before the doorstep, but in this llttlo enclosure a family sleeps as securely as though locked In a house. On one side, upon the broken flagging, with only a quilt between them and tho stones, He the father and mother. Close by, bedded upon the splintered cellar door, rest the Bon and his young wife. All aro sleeping in their clothes. The women wear wrappers as a slight concession toward night clothing, but the men are dressed as they would be in daylight. The son has kicked off his shoes, but he keeps on his socks. The palm for a comfortless couch Is taken by that which two well grown men have selected. It Is a garbage box In front of a saloon. The box Is little more than a yard long and the head of tho younger man hangs over tho edge In a way that would cause nightmare and a week's stiff neck to anyooo but a practiced tenement man. Both sleepers have their feet tucked up In tho fashion thy probably learned In early youth Rnd are deep In that unconsciousness which passes for restful sleep on the east side. l,ui ul' "uiuu me iwo nave maao Monday iie Bargain Room Ty onday will be the crreatest clearing day in the bargain room.

The man that hit Billy Patterson struck out with both fists and both Tascott and the man that killed Morgan rolled over on the ground. The man that hit Billy Patter son then vaulted over tho railing of the veranda and landed on Mr. Crowe's eyes and blacked them finely. Suddenly there was a yell behind them, and they saw Tas cott come flying at them firing a revolver. "Hurrah!" ho shouted. "At last I am really happy. I've been good too long. I've been wanting to kill somebody else for ten years. At last I am myself tho same old Tascott again. Ho shot two bullets through Mr. Crowe's left car and plugged him twlco In tho leg. Mr. Crowe leaped over tho rail of tho veranda and fled around the houee. But with a scream tho man who killed Morgan was after him, waving a shining ax. "I'm myself again, I'm mysolf again!" yelled tbo man who had killed Morgan. "All theBo years I've been rusting and for getting that I am tho gent that slew Mr. Morgan. But I'm the same feller. And I'm going to Morganlzo somebody else, and he comes from Omaha." Hnllliifir a Poet. Just at that moment a tall figure ap peared In tho midst of the excited group. Apparently it had risen from tho ground. It wore a leather helmet and a belt about Its waist, In which was carried a revolver and a policeman's club.
